The dome and pyramid buildings you see from the highway is now known as The Bright Spot for Health. Inside, the Taste of Health restaurant is one of the best kept secrets in Wichita. It is open for 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. on weekdays and the food is tasty and healthy. An interesting gift shop, organic gardens and restful walking paths make this a highly recommended place to stop.
